...this city, for Mr. J. Cheever Goodwin's burlesque, "Evangeline," to be produced in a few weeks. It is a bold, spirited composition, and extremely effective as arranged either for the piano-forte or a full orchestra. It has been played at some of the theatres for the past fortnight with great success. The air of the trio is very sweet and pleasing, and the combinations in harmony throughout, many of them novel and ingenious, give the piece a very different character from the tum-ti-tum marches which are everywhere published with such lavish profusion...

Its past history puts it in the foremost rank of literary societies, but its future is ours to make or mar. It is incumbent on the present members, therefore, and those soon to follow, to guard against any weak reliance on its ancient reputation. Let the advantages of membership exist not solely in name, as we too often hear it said they...
